Wow! three at one time?!?! I would be honest and say that it sounded like something you thought you could do but you are finding that it is too difficult and rather than give their daughter sub par care, it would be better for them to find alternate care. Let them know that you care about each child and want to do what is best for each one but you are simply finding it to be too much and the kids suffer because of you being over worked. It is physically impossible for you to give the required attention to that many infants alone time. I think the parents would respect you for your honesty and your willingness to put the kids first in this situation. Can I ask what your state laws say about your adult to infant or toddler ratios? Three at one time alone seems like too many to me. Could you hire an assistant?
